Nursing Associates

Nursing Associates (NAs) can work in both the community and hospital across the four fields of adult, children’s, mental health and learning disability.

 

NAs work with HCSWs and registered nurses and the role is often a stepping stone to becoming a Band 5 nurse. During training, you’ll undertake academic learning one day a week and carry out work-based learning/placement the rest of the week.

 

You may work a mix of shifts. After qualifying, you can put your training towards a shortened nursing degree or registered nurse degree apprenticeship (RNDA). Email us for more information.
